Doc: "With an 84% dropout rate from baseline visit, OLE is meaningless to anyone with experience."
So the OLE data is based on only 14% of the original patients?
Is it possible the EMA could give approval for just the wild type cohort? It would seem that's the only cohort deserving of the EMA'S time. Could Missling be thinking that that's how it could get approved? It would seem he has to think that.
If not, it would seem his motivation is based on having EU buddies over there who he's counting on giving him a pass. The drug being cheap, a pill, and there's really nothing else as a bit of a fig leaf justification. Could that happen?
Or maybe he figured the EMA head fake could keep interest up until the more powerful Sigmar1 371 drug will show well enough in the Schizo trial in New Jersey to raise money before the EMA failure.
I can see a lot of possibilities but you'll notice almost none of them are based on that trial showing obviously positive results. Other than, as you noted, in that one wild type cohort. I could see the EMA justifying an approval on that one cohort - if they ever do that kind of an approval, or would do such a thing. Any history of that kind of an approval? Anyone?
I've been in Anavex for two years and it's becoming a very strange situation.
